Dear clouds, are you following me to school today?
Little Mimi walks
to school every morning.
She enjoys being chaperoned
by dear Cumulus clouds above.
Mimi wonders at their
whiteness and fluffiness
like woolly candy sweets.
Whichever road she takes
they are sure to follow!
So dear clouds, are you
following me to school today?
********
The clouds high above gently coaxes the little girl as Mama has to look after the other brothers and sisters at home.
On days when dear clouds are not around, Mimi walks with her head to the ground. Very often she picks up a coin or two. Why do some people have holes in their pockets?
Walking to school can be such a joy, if only dear clouds are around, always!

So, Mimi’s cruising along, right? Shoes tapping, just doing her thing. And up there? These clouds are basically tailing her, like some giant cotton balls or something.
She’s like, “Wait a sec, are you guys marshmallows or what? Maybe wool? Or are you just… sky stalkers?”
She tries to lose them with a little zigzag action, but nope—they’re still hanging around, quiet as ever.
Then she’s all, “You guys coming to school? Gonna help me with my math or something?” Of course, no response—just floating along, doing their cloud thing.
Finally, she throws her hands up. “Fine, whatever. If you’re sticking around, might as well come sit in math class with me.”

LOL. Chaperoned by clouds. That sounds wonderful. And there might be spirits on top of the clouds to wish her well.
